Ran across this webpage describing Jerry Garcia's "Tiger" guitar, by Doug Irwin:
www.dozin.com/jers/guitars/tiger/info.html
I thought the electronics were pretty interesting. He used a unity-gain preamp to buffer the signal, and then had an onboard effects loop using a separate TRS jack out to a "Y" box, and then back into the guitar via the same TRS cable.
This enabled him to have the effects "see" the full output of the pickups, and the guitars volume and tone controls then controlled the effects. Pretty slick, IMO.
